Plenty if reports of lack of maintenance, overwork in all levels, blame culture, etc.

Also systems in place not trusted by the workers, which means they're used to bypass them.

It's a systemic failure.

The system has been in a steep decline for 5 years at least.

I take the plane now, because between delays, stops in the middle of nowhere and strong vibrations where there was a smooth ride before, it became unbearable.

Maybe you should sell Ataris too! Is everything still copyrighted?

Isn't it better to use an LLM to train modernbert or xgboost et al?

Exit strategies produce this kind of dead bodies. Bending Spoons is just an Italian Dr Frankenstein.

Grow first profit later is likely to end like this.

Waiting it out was the first strategy in Europe but it's clearly moving into something else.

Since you're an idiot or fired if you point at this, just collect the money man.

It's their money. They want to do stupid things? So be it.

That would be lovely but seems people really really want to be in the same places I am.

This year just called defeat and I'm moving out to the countryside, hopefully. My city had almost no tourist three years ago and now I had to shout twice to a tourist guide for using a very loud speaker in the very street I live in.

Just today I saw a 1 start review in a place I really like, by a german lady that was baffled waiters didn't even try to speak english to her.

It's just impossible to fight this. Guess we'll have to make our nice place elsewhere until tourists find out.

IME it's impossible to fight this people. They have to learn through consequences. There's no other way.

Guys just go and ride it.

It's their money. They decided to do this. They think you guys are stupid.

Suck. Them. Dry.

Or say goodbay, which is what I did on my previous role when the BS started to get obvious.

Now I do LLM-assisted coding on my own terms. I decide what to do, review output and push back agains overengineered BS.

But I'm a lucky one, as far as I can see.

NO-ONE is going to be able to understand the the amount of slop created by unchecked LLMs.

The path we're going forward is very clear, given how rapidly top-tier software has been degrading when they decided to pressure devs into this stupidity.

Given the price I don't really think they're the best option. They're sloppy and competitors are catching up. I'm having same results with other models, and very close with Kimi, which is waaay cheaper.

I use both Linux and Macos, and I'd like to get rid of xcode or have something like Nautilus.

There are many, many things that are completely normal in Linux that are super clunky in MacOS at best.

But at least try to match Nautilus or Thunar ffs.

I did something similar to a local company here in Spain. Not medical, but a small insurance company. Believe it or not, yes, they vibecoded their CRM.

I sent them an email and they threatened to sue me. I was a bit in shock from such dumb response, but I guess some people only learn the hard way, so I filed a report to the AEPD (Data protection agency in Spain) for starters, known to be brutal.

I've also sent them a burofax demanding the removal of my data on their systems just last friday.

Spain also runs in a constant deficit and they are emitting debt to cover operational expenses.

The pension system is the elephant in the room.

Now we compete with the whole world. I don't see much "resting in its laurels" nowadays. Have you traveled across Europe the last decade?

There's no resting, just a declive.

Europe and the EU are two different things. The EU is already having it's own credibility crisis inside the EU, and there are already heavy pushes for reform.

The conversation is completely different in Germany, Poland, Italy and Spain, for example.

The EU has enacted pretty stupid policies but I don't think the status quo was about to last a lot. Now with the Greenland issue things are about to speed up.

My guess is that, because they shaked hands with conservative leaders in Europe, the White house thinks this is going to benefit them.

I don't think this is going to be the case mid term.
